In FUNC.LIST, highlight D/R & EXP. Press the Selector
to access the Dual Rate and Exponential menu. Highlight
the channel (aile, elev or rudd) then press the Selector to
select the desired channel you wish to adjust the dual and
expo rates for. Rotate to select then press the Selector to
store the desired channel.
Note: Three D/R and EXPO positions (values) are
available (Pos0, 1 and 2).
Under AUTO on the right of the screen, highlight
CRUI and press the Selector. Select Pos1 as the
active position for the cruise mode by rotating the
Selector then pressing it when
Pos1 is highlighted.
This will automatically access dual rate and expo values
programmed into position 1 whenever cruise mode
is selected. Now rotate the Selector to
Pos1 and
highlight the D/R values. Rotate the Selector to change
these values. Displace the aileron stick right or left to
independently adjust the dual rate in each direction.
Depress the Selector to store the desired D/R values.
Rotate the Selector to the
EXP Pos1 values and adjust
these values in the same manner, pressing the Selector
to store the desired value.
Now go back to channel and repeat for the two remaining
channels. Press the LIST button to return to the Function
Mode screen.
This function is normally not used in cruise mode;
however, it is active and all trim adjustments will be
automatically stored when cruise mode is selected.
In
Function Mode list, highlight ELEFLP M. Press
the Selector to access the Elevator-to-Flap mix menu.
Note that two elevator-to-flap mix values are available,
Pos0 and Pos1, and the elevator-to-flap values can be
independently adjusted up and down. Also, you can adjust
the offset (the stick position where the mixing changes
from up to down). This offset allows the programming
of snap-flaps, a common sailplane function that gives
greater full up elevator pitch authority for tighter turns.
With snap-flaps, no flap mixing occurs during small to
medium up elevator inputs, but at about 80% up elevator,
the flaps are mixed to give down flaps, causing greater up
pitch authority.
Highlight
CRU (cruise mode) at the bottom of the screen
and depress the Selector to select Pos1. If you choose to
program snap-flaps, highlight Offset Pos1 and depress the
Selector to access this value. A 0 value locates the offset
position when the elevator is centered. The adjustment
range is -200 to +200. Negative values move the offset
in the up elevator direction. Set a value of –100 to start,
as this will locate the offset at 80% up elevator. Press the
Selector to store this offset value. Highlight Pos1 UP and
depress the Selector to access the position 1 up elevator
mixing. With the 3-position switch in the middle (cruise)
position, give a full up elevator command and hold while
adjusting the Pos1 up value until the desired down flap
position is achieved. Press the LIST button to return to
the Function Mode screen.
